These walls can be so mean
These chains look good on me
And in this oppressive city heat
I just want to scream
But I don’t want to wake the neighbors
Shattered glass on the asphalt is so beautiful when it’s broken
Am I beautiful when I’m broken? Please don’t leave.
Cars ahead bleed red, red light. I’m not scared, I’m terrified
I crawl along but I just want to run...

So go, Johnny go, get me out of this place, fly me out on robin’s wings
Go, Johnny go, get me out of this place, out among the evergreens
Go, Johnny go, get me out of this place, fly me out on robin’s wings
Go, Johnny go, get me out of this place…
Oh, Johnny, be good to me

Lie awake in bed, I wonder, do my parents miss each other?
And will my daughter like her mother, and will she hurt like me?
So go, Johnny go, get me out of this place
Oh go, Johnny go, get me out of this place
Oh, Johnny, be good to me
